Using the python shell to spot errors

Hi! When writing in the terminal (in the python shell), python will provide an error message if you say, get the syntax wrong. I noticed, than when writing the same incorrect line of code in a file, no error message pops up. Is this, then, one of the reasons it is good to start writing code in the shell before carrying it over into the file you plan to keep permanently?

You can't copy more than one line of code, unless all of the code is in a block.
